Hi I wanted to treat my acne scars on both my cheeks. Severe to moderate on left side and mild to moderate on right side. Im not sure which treatment to get. Im juggling between resurfx laser non ablative, dermapen or prp scar treatment. I think most people say that lasers do jack for scars but Ive also got hyperpigmentation and freckles I want to address as well. Please help thanks.

Lasers help hyperpigmentation and freckles, yes, and for shallow acne scars. If they are deep, subcison and RF microneedling work better.

No one can suggest a treatment method without seeing your scars, as different scars require different treatment methods. In all likelihood, you will need a combination of treatments. Treatment also varies depending on your skin type. In general, you want:

subcision and/or fillersfor rolling scars

microneedling RF/ certain lasers - boxcar scars

TCA cross - icepick scars

try to go see a reputable dermatologist who specializes in scar treatment
